Big changes are coming to Major League Baseball as the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike) system is officially set to debut league-wide in 2026! In this episode, we break down what that means for the game and how it could impact the Phillies moving forward.

We also dive into the Phillies' recent struggles after dropping 4 of their last 5 games, and what they need to do to regain momentum heading into the postseason. Despite the rough stretch, the Phils are now just one game away from clinching the 2-seed, thanks to the Dodgers' latest loss — another rough outing for L.A.'s shaky bullpen.

Can the Phillies lock up home-field advantage? What does the ABS system mean for pitchers and hitters? And will the Dodgers’ bullpen woes continue to haunt them?
